Summary:	Since we moved the journal to Texas A&M University (College Station), the workshops have become international both in our reach and our host sites.[...]Callaloo is, in part, a counter-statement to racist white literary editors' continuing refusal to publish creative and critical writing by about African Americans as late as the 1960s.Because there were no graduate course offerings in African American literary studies at Ohio State at the time, I settled for its courses in European American literature as my new field of specialty.Unfortunately, I had no professional staff working with me; I had only two student workers.[...]there was no publisher for the journal; there was only small funds to pay a printer in the city and certain mailing fees.
